C. 1880's Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show Photo
This is an original circa 1880’s photograph of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. The large format image shows a row of Native American warriors on horseback in full war or dance regalia. The back is marked “BUFFALO BILL’S WILD WEST”. After reviewing other Buffalo Bill parade photographs, we can confirm the several of the Indians as being the same as in this photo. Truly a rare photo of such an iconic representation of the American Wild West. From the Jim Aplan Piedmont, South Dakota collection. Measures 7” by 5”. The original silver gelatin / albumen photograph is clear and is on the same dark cabinet boudoir card as the other examples with a beveled gilt edge showing some slight wear.
